again??

 I swear, I go to the store almost every day

    I keep a grocery list.  I write stuff down.   But it seems every tine I come home I find something else I need.

    We used to do a monthly shopping trip.  Before we went, we would go thru a list.  I would check the pantry, check all the areas of the house we use stuff, and mark it on the list.

    Now it's buy as we need it.

    For example, today I bought 3 potatoes.  If I buy 5 pounds I will probably end up tossing half of them.  I did not do the math, but I am sure I am spending more per pound on the 3 than  I would for the 5 pounds.

    I get bugged when there are things we want and I can't find them here.  We like diet peach flavored Lipton Tea.  but our local WM does not carry it.  They have Georgia Peach Tea which has too much sugar.  They also have diet green tea, or some other taste, that we don't like.

    Thus tomorrow when I am in DeKalb visiting the audiologist, I will stop at a store over there for the right tea.

    Anyway, that was the highlight of my day..... going to the store.  What a boring life!

    I did take Beth for a short walk.  As soon as we said the word she was ready to go.  The wind darn near blew me over and in fact it did blow over my bison.  Granted it is not heavy, but still.

    We also watched Geoffrey Baer's lakefront tour on WTTW.  As a special offer, they have a 2 hour lakefront tour with Geoffrey 2 Saturday's in September for a donation of only $185.The tour is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and includes dinner and 2 drinks.  It would be great to do. The tickets went quickly, which is no surprise.

    Aside from that I basically wasted the day away.  I always feel guilty doing that, because I have tings to do.  I just don't like doing them.

Peace and Love
